“Unfortunately, Saudi Arabia has turned into an executive arm of Washington’s policies in the Middle East,” Mansouri Arani said on Saturday.

The Iranian legislator also said that Saudi Arabia has broad cooperation with CIA agents to carry out drone attacks in Yemen.

Mansouri Arani said that the money, paid for Saudi oil, is spent on the implementation and promotion of the global arrogance’s policies.

He warned that cooperation between the US and any country in the Middle East can threaten regional security.

“Security in the Middle East will only be maintained through cooperation and interaction among regional countries and experience has shown that whenever foreign forces have entered the region, balance and security have been disturbed,” the lawmaker pointed out.
